Is the command menu standard when going to hit spacebar or is it a parameter setting to get it to show up on your fadal? Have an 88ms and when I press spacebar on mine it just cycles to the enter next command page. Dont even have a run screen or program screen until you enter the quick commands.
after you send a program to the machine, how do save it to memory? What happens to the program that is open if you send another program to the controller. Thanks
Any idea what the boxed areas are in the display when you are jogging or MDI? Yours shows X,Y,Z in 3 rows and then has some boxes drawn below with additional X,Y,Z plus H and other parameters. Is this the current work offset shown below the machine offset? I have a ‘95 4020 88HS with -4 controller and I only see the top 3 rows but no boxes or which work offset I’m currently in. Can’t figure out what this is.
The boxes below my XYZ have more information from the program - tells you how much travel in XYZC you have to go, which tool you have loaded, offsets, M codes that are active, if optional stop is active, etc. I can’t recall exactly but if you don’t see them it might be related to if your machine is in format 1 or 2. Are you part of the Fadal FB group? A lot of great resources there too.
Fantastic content. Extremely helpful to me. Thank you for making this and sharing your knowledge!
Glad it was helpful!
Cold start zeros /origins , we call sometimes machine coordinates / zeros
Other zeros we call sometimse "part" or program zeros - origins
Cool! First thing I'm about to do next morning (try all this). As said, keep 'em coming😁
Thanks! Let me know if you (or anyone else) wants answers or a certain video for anything.
Very Good.... Helpful Keep'em coming

@@bgwmachine it’s in Format 2, but I’ll post it in that group. Seems like it’s just a setting I don’t know about.
Which control is this? I have a CNC88 that does not have the space bar option...
You turn it on or off in SetP
So were are the links to the manuals??? 16.37 in vido
